This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Raccoons are commonly associated with scavenging and sneakiness, behaviors they exhibit. The black band of fur around their eyes makes them look like bandits. The associations extend to include ideas like struggle for survival, going it alone, getting back to nature, and living simply. However, associations based on personal experience are fair game for dreams to use to create symbolism. Such as in the dream a man had about being in a tent and suddenly the ground gives way and he tumbles down hundreds of feet into a raging river. He washes up on a rock outcropping and sees a raccoon that’s trapped and can’t swim across the river. He tries to help it, and it attacks him and shreds his tent. To understand the dream, you have to know about an experience he had as a child. While camping, he fed the raccoons at the campsite and his parents admonished him for it. It created an association in his mind between raccoons and being punished for trying to be helpful. A recent incident has made him feel that way. It feels like a personal attack, and it shreds the flimsy protection he has around his ego, symbolized by the tent. It puts his emotions in turmoil, symbolized as the raging river. Ultimately, the dream raises the point that he shouldn’t be so sensitive. This example points out why no dream dictionary can cover all possibilities for symbolism, and you should always think of personal associations for your dream symbols. See also: Animals, Bandits
